Make no mistake this is a case of ‘the guy we voted for to Fuck with the people we don’t like is going after us instead’. Needle dick Ron laid waste to the state of Florida so he could play politics and the people of Florida got exactly what they wanted.

Well now the state is worse than it’s ever been and ol meatball is getting absolutely clowned on in the national spotlight. Eat shit dickhead, you thought you were the natural next choice but that’s all over.

Orange County, where Disney World is located, went for the D candidate 53-46. Don't blame them for the malignant human tumor their state foisted on them.

But Disney themselves donated plenty to R candidates for years. The state and its inhabitants are finding out what that gets you.

I’ve spent far more time in the sunshine state than i ever would wish on anyone, Im not saying everyone in the state is brainwashed but there are plenty of people who cheer on as their state is imploding.

We have to acknowledge that Republicans have lots to offer if you're a mega corp.

  1. They pick up the phone for you and your lobbyists - day or night
  2. They lower your tax burden
  3. They functionally killed unionization - allowing you to pay your executives enormous sums of money while the majority of your workforce struggles financially.
  4. If you're somehow unable to outright buy their legislative agenda with ~~bribes~~ campaign donations, they can instead be forced to comply with subtle threats to leak details of their various ~~homo~~sexual escapades to the media.
  5. They tend to have absolutely no morals - which is great for your shareholders.
